The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players noting its simplicity and ease of mastering enemy patterns, while others criticize the lack of depth and meaningful level design.

- “The gameplay is simple, and enemy patterns and boss patterns are easy to understand and master quickly.”

- “The developer chose not to do the job of a game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative-based gameplay progression, and so on.”
